====== WCCTEC Attendance ======

__High School Attendance Clerks__: Coordinate with the attendance clerk, Barbara, at the CTE Center and manually enter each of the CTE student's attendance. Daily Attendance at the Home School will not be recorded if that class does not exist at the High School (their membership school).  That's the purpose of the roll call.  Either enter absences/tardies/early dismissals directly into Daily Attendance or into a Roll Call class for first period.
